The Freedom Project is a 2D/3D Art & Film Event organized jointly by
the University of Western Australia, along with members of the Virtual
Ability Group, and the Centre for ME/CFS and Other Invisible Illnesses

personal story on the theme of ‘Freedom’, showing how virtual worlds
have in some way helped them or those around them.

This event is to thank all the artists, filmmakers, and writers for
contributing their works and of themselves, as well as to thank the many
individuals, groups and organisations who made this possible, including
